Abstract

Transport and dispersal of odours by air currents is considered an important factor in scolytid response to attractant sources. This viewpoint provides explanations for some puzzling field observations and data, and helps identify significant questions about scolytid flight behaviour. There is a need for "odour meteorology", which would be concerned with the rates and types of odour distribution near the ground, and would provide a basis for the most effective use of chemical attractants in natural environments.
